Grinder Series
Sanigrind
The Sanigrind is a system that is used to install a complete
bathroom up to 18 feet below the sewer line, or even up to 150
feet away from a soil stack. The Sanigrind can handle the
effluent from a toilet, sink, bathtub, shower and washing
machine.

While most of our pump range are shredders/macerators, the

Sanigrind incorporates an actual grinder system. The
Sanigrind is ideal for situations where you do not control the
use of it (ie. rental unit, offices, warehouses, etc). It is
designed to deal with sanitary articles that may have been
flushed down the toilet; such articles may consist of condoms,
sanitary napkins, q-tips, dental floss, etc.

Note: In commercial installations, the code requires an

elongated bowl.

The Sanigrind is simplicity itself to install; there are just four connections.

• The macerator/grinder pump is connected to a standard North American bottom outlet toilet.
• The toilet tank is connected to the water supply.
• The macerator/grinder pump is connected to the small diameter discharge pipe work.
• The macerator/grinder pump is connected to the electrical supply.

The inside of the Sanigrind comprises of a pressure switch and circuit board assembly, which starts and stops the
unit, and the motor, which drives the stainless steel cutting blade and the pump. When the flush is activated, the
water flowing into the Sanigrind activates a pressure switch, which in turn starts the motor. The motor is sealed for
life in an oil filled enclosure. A common spindle/shaft drives the impeller and the macerator blades. The moving
parts therefore are kept to an absolute minimum. Water and organic waste matter, enter the chamber and are
reduced to slurry as the macerator blades rotate at 3600 RPM. The reduced solids are picked up at the bottom and
the impeller mounted beneath the motor ejects the waste. The unit pumps the effluent upward to 18 feet and/or
150 feet horizontally (with gravity fall). The operating cycle for the Sanigrind varies depending upon the discharge
pipe run configuration.

In addition, the Sanigrind will also discharge gray water from a variety of other sanitary fixtures such as: a sink, a
bathtub/shower, a urinal and even a washing machine (indirect connection). When adding a bathtub/shower,
there should be a height difference between the side inlet of the pump and the base of the bathtub/shower. This
height difference should be of 6” (minimum) or 8” (recommended), to allow for the installation of a P-trap and the
required 1/4” per foot gravity flow towards the pump unit.

The wastewater from other sanitary fixtures is discharged into the Sanigrind via two 1½-inch inlets, on either side
of the housing. The discharge elbow on top of the Sanigrind can be turned either to the left, to the right, or towards
the back, depending on the discharge installation. A non-return valve, which comes already assembled on the
discharge elbow, prevents back flow into the unit.

This unit has been designed with a vent connection on the lid. All plumbing codes require connection to a vent
system. Please note that the vent system should be a two-way air vent. The use of mechanical vents, air
admittance valves or similar devices are not permitted as these are considered one-way air vent systems.

The Sanigrind unit must be connected to a standard toilet with a bottom outlet. The maximum distance from a
toilet should be no more than 24 inches.
It is highly recommended for the macerator/grinder to be connected to a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) circuit..

The Sanigrind has been certified to American and Canadian Standards. Macerating standard; US: ASME A112.3.4,
CA: Macerating Standard CSA B45.9
The Sanigrind is ordered as a single unit only. No toilet seat, cabinets, shower nor bathtub are included.
